Great pics Bill!

Nice trout! Sounds like a good day.

Adhesive holding the corked section around the reel seat coming unglued. From what I've been told and from what I've seen in their newer rods they have corrected the problem.

I've been using the TFO spinning series for several years now. The Gary Loomis signature series are a great price point, but as others have pointed out are not the lightest nor the most sensitive rod out there. For it's price though, it is a great deal, and also comes with a life time warranty. I ha...

That red is a stud, Doug! (that rhymed)... you're the grand slam master!

That's pretty slick, Doug! Whenever poling and looking for fish, I run into the problem of what to do with my pushpole and how to pick my rod up without taking my eye off the fish.

Nice job Doug, great pics like always.

Nice chunky reds man!

Good stuff, Doug!

That's awesome dude, congrats!

I use 4-6 ft of 60lb floro.... you can use a bite tippet too if you feel it's necessary, but for fishing the beach I prefer a lighter leader because of how clear the water usually is (atleast here in the central gulf coast). Maybe try a different circle hook, if you were getting a good hook set you ...
